The Jewish community in Turku, Finland, has worshipped at a particular synagogue for more than a hundred years. It was built before Jews even had the right to citizenship in Finland. For The World’s series on “Sacred Spaces” around the globe, Jon Kalish tells the story of this synagogue and what it reveals about the unique identity of Finnish Jews.
